By Jason Kim: WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (23-0, 13 KO’s) could wind up with home advantage in his semifinal Super Six tournament fight against Arthur Abraham (32-2, 26 KO’s) in a fight that Dan Rafael is saying could take place at the Home Depot Center, in Carson, California on May 14th. Ward isn’t from Carson, but he does live in the same state in northern California in Oakland.

It would be a lot easier for Ward’s fans to make it from Bay area in Northern California than it would be for the German based Abraham to have his fans come all the ways from Germany to see him fight.

But Abraham doesn’t have much of a chance to win this fight no matter where this fight takes place. The fight could also take place in Atlantic City, New Jersey. They might be a better option for Abraham, because there’s a large Armenian population in the East Coast, and Abraham might be able to get more fans that would come see him and give him a little support in the fight. Abraham needs all the support he can get, as he’s lost two out his last three fights. He was beaten by Andre Dirrell and Carl Froch in the Super Six tournament recently.

That string of losses was broken in Abraham’s win last week against Stjepan Bozic. Ward is a lot better fighter than Bozic, and we’re likely going to see Abraham go back to losing again. This fight could take place in Germany and Abraham would still have problems. He doesn’t throw enough punches and his hand speed is too slow for him to catch the better fighters he’s been facing lately. Abraham needs to move back down in weight after he’s eliminated from the Super Six tournament and try to make the best of things at middleweight. He’s too small to compete at super middleweight and his losses to Dirrell and Froch has highlighted that fact.
